This was given to me by a dear friend in the Lions Club, just after the death of our son. It is one of those poems that ends up staying with you. You get in a zone and make a connection with the departed that only a poems can generate. I share it at appropriate times with other close friends and I keep it on my home page for quick access.
Read this at a good friends service. Could barely get through it...
I really love this poem,,it remind me of my late sister who died of cancer six years ago.

I really like this poems. I brings me joy whenever I read it. I think deep down inside of me whenever I sleep. Do not stand at my grave and weep.
Really perfect for those agnostic (me) and athetists grieving and concerned about future deaths including ones own. We are made of starstuff and to starstuff we shall return.
Such a great and poignant poem. It's only the words but probably not what she really thought. In my mind she just wanted to console the mourners. Knowing that time can soothe.
Could anyone please tell me how to add a poem to my favourites
Of course she’s right but...I believe in the afterlife and the spiriiual world! I still weep at my dead son’s gravestone. Cemeteries, gravestones, monuments, memorials, cenotaphs for the LIVING BEREAVED? Do we now carry virtual graves in our heads? 🤔
Mary Elizabeth Frye did not write this poem- Claire Harner did and published it in 1934. Let's give credit where credit is due
Fiz uma poema peço que avalie depois vê se mereço crédito
